Ep #3 - Anna Karina With Godard in the 60s

Any discussion of modernism in ‘60s films has to begin with Jean-Luc Godard, the era’s single-most important innovator in the language of popular cinema. But because the mere mention of his name can cause certain movie lovers to bristle and run as far away as possible, we decided to tackle his occasionally difficult output in the most approachable way possible. So in this episode, we focus on the films Godard made with his greatest star and muse: Anna Karina.

No matter how discursive and inscrutable the lightly plotted cinema of Godard can get, Karina always brings the charm, intelligence and humor, effectively turning his potentially alienating distancing techniques and cinematic experiments into pure subversive pleasure. Cinema60 celebrates Anna Karina, who stands out as the perfect ‘60s woman in a decade of few notable roles worthy of actresses with significant charisma or talent.
